Orioles’ Tillman will start opener

SARASOTA, Fla. – Orioles manager Buck Showalter says right-hander Chris Tillman will start on opening day against the defending champion Boston Red Sox. Tillman went 16-7 with 3.71 ERA last season and made the AL All-Star team for the first time. He had a 16-18 lifetime record before his breakthrough 2013 season.

The allegations come in a legal complaint filed Monday over the November crash at Harrah’s racetrack in Chester, Pa. Lawyers said 31-year-old Anthony Coletta of Hudson City, N.J., suffered brain damage and other injuries when a horse in front of him stumbled, throwing him from his cart.

The complaint, filed by lawyer Michael Barrett, said that Harrah’s “turned a blind eye” to complaints the track was dangerous. Harrah’s lawyer Larry Kelly said he has not seen the complaint and has no immediate comment.

US Open returning to Torrey Pines

SAN DIEGO – The San Diego city council has unanimously approved a proposal that brings golf’s U.S. Open back to Torrey Pines in 2021.

According to the proposal presented at a meeting Monday, the USGA will pay the city $2.5 million in rent for the golf course and parking lots, up from a $500,000 fee that San Diego received from the 2008 U.S. Open. The city also would get 20 percent of corporate hospitality sales.

Among the costs to San Diego would be an estimated $300,000 to $500,000 to build player and practice facilities.
